Let me talk about school life and my thoughts towards class. Time do really change your mind and thoughts very fast. It is certainly to tell a person that you are still young man/woman if man/girl told you that he/she made the comments about something. In realistic, most comments they make do not reflect to the truth about something. Something can be your opinion about a person, a subject you learn or your own skill. That is why they are still young and only time will teach them where they did mistakes. Time is infinite space and extremely powerful to change you constantly from time to time especially when your thoughts and belief is not steadfast and full of mistakes. There is a saying many of you often hear from your own teachers..."There is a room for improvement". Certainly, you get a chance to realise the truth and reflect your mistake for greater good. If you are the one having such a smug at some one's doing/opinion believing that you can do better than someone, then you are YOUNG person! *wink* It is about the time for us to respect people and hear their opinions. With their viewpoint and your viewpoint, they get together in your mind and you develop a conclusion which is not very biased albeit fair one. It is the way we should do.
Let me talk about few classmates in DMS which i observe from Semester 1 to Semester 5.
Stephen..Although he may come from China, what i see in him is aura of confidence. He spoke confidently in english with no worries about his standard. I remember that day when he, Benny(From China), Jason (From Vietnam), Daniel Tan (POA lecturer) were talking as i sat and listened. Benny spoke broken english in result of his lack of confidence about his own english language handling. Daniel Tan encouraged him to practise and learn how to speak properly english. On the other hand, Stephen spoke at ease. If you don't believe, all you need is to pop some questions in english and see how many people from China can answer you prompt in english without pause at each interval. I get few occassion to chat with him but there is not much to know about. I believe that he has more 'cards' hidding in his chest and he haven't display in front of me. To see his 'cards', i have to spend more time to talk with him. Only card i saw is his aura of confidence. I don't even know what he do in order to win Wang Wen's heart. It was so quiet and precise affair. Within a blink of your eye, they are already close by Semester 2. To do this, you need aura of confidence in your own handling on such matters.
Wang Wen.. Hmm..She know how to execute things what she learnt. Especially her IT skill that she learnt before. Certainly, she got some etiquette when talking one-to-one with you. That is what many Singaporeans lack. Singaporeans are so quick shooting their mouths at any possible weakness they can find. Singaporeans' favourite attack "har, it is not nice la and you change the sentence la". Whatever it is and i believe you especially Singapore readers would agree with this one. I think there are a few more quality in her. I thought about what Cherlyn said and maybe time will prove what Wang Wen is like in the first place. Let time transform your thought towards her each time you see or talk with her.
Ruo Nan..Wow, she is workhorse. Galloping all the way despite of her mediocre grammer. DMS is relatively easier than UOL. I wonder if she can suvive answering real-time answers during UOL examination. DMS examination questions are not really real-time and doesn't put you in trance for a long time. The hard part about DMS is short duration course making studying tough for anyone who want to relax. Sometimes hard work is not enough when you are facing up against extremely tough situations.
Just give any job and she will glide through in time by the deadline you set. Boss/CEO will want her because of her attitude and work handling. Definately!
Lance...He can talk a lot despite of his language. Best part about him is no air and 'let do it' attitude. That is what CEO need when CEO need someone to do the job task that no one has ever done. Whatever he tells to lecturer, it can be funny but he shrugs it off and then learn faster than you guys. There are shortcoming he have but time will help him to improve his shortcoming in no time. He has a lot of faith in me and he knows what i can do. He has good 'eyesight'. I wonder how he gotta fare in UOL course together with Benny and Ruo Nan since they are studying the same course but one out of 4 subjects is different from Benny. Ruo Nan is learning Marketing together with him. He told me that he love marketing. I can see that he is going to take after his father who work in electronic retail business. I think he can suceed in marketing arena.
Jason..From Cambodia to Vietnam and going to emigrate to Australia?He make a good friend. He is someone who you can talk anything under the sun. His academic is very average but his quality can be seen. He will definately go with you through thick and thin.
Quoc Dung..His biggest barrier is his english language but tries hard enough to understand. Too bad he always do short cut. Just skip reading all the words on course note and he only want keywords to study for exam. That is bad habit in my opinion. He will do well when working in Vietnam where he has no problem communicating in his language.
David... An Indonesia dude. He is fantastic guy who is willing to learn. No matter how bad/weak he is in his subject, he still lend his hand and try to solve the problem together with you. Very very good quality! We should learn from him. He greet anyone and his character somewhat indirectly bond everyone in the class together.
Timothy...Indian singaporean is very friendly guy. One time i saw him driving a black mini car. From what i hear that he is studying and working at the same time, i guess it is not easy to pay car installment if he really bought the car with his own money. I never asked him about it. He can make you feel 'yoyo' thing.
Albert..Mynamar guy..At first, he gave me an impression of him being easy-going guy struggling for grades. But it never been the case. He told me himself about his grades and i was surprised. Good thing that he is very friendly and is willing to study hard. I once saw him studying outside the lecturer room when i was having night class few months ago.
Vishal...Indian Singaporean but his family is living in India and having family business up there. He got some kind of midas thing enabling to get people to discuss in the meeting. One of essential requirements for a businessman to have but the question is whether he can get past his shortcoming. If he really can, he can do good business for his father.
Suliana.. i already mention about her before. Same opinion as ever.
Daniel Tan...POA lecturer who brighten up the class with his sensible jokes. You will feel like as if you can talk anything under the sun with him. He also extend his time to teach students. He is very committed lecturer.
James... I am fortunated to be taught by him for Business Finance. Extremely tough guy which mean he is totally resilient against the most difficult life where anyone will give up any time.
Patrick....New Zealander lecturer..He is another fantastic lecturer making use all technologies to enhance the lesson experience for all of us. He is very punctual guy making all possible lecturing avenues to earn money. I think he has a lot of jobs to fulfill by teaching people comprising managers,CEO and goes on. Best of all, he doesn't own car! No wonder he is damn fit.
Multinational class environment is quite wonderful because you get to hear unusual things. These unusual things can make you laugh because they seem jokes to you.

Peter's old friend Harry Obsourne has set out for revenge against Peter; taking up the mantle of his late father's persona as The New Goblin, and Peter must also capture Uncle Ben's real killer, Flint Marko, who has been transformed into his toughest foe yet, the Sandman. All hope seems lost when suddenly Peter's suit turns jet-black and greatly amplifies his powers. But it also begins to greatly amplify the much darker qualities of Peter's personality that he begins to lose himself to. Peter has to reach deep inside himself to free the compassionate hero he used to be if he is to ever conquer the darkness within and face not only his greatest enemies, but also...himself.
Opinions:
Wow, i was blown from start to end with my home theater shaking my room.Especially the sound effect of sand. For story-wise, it is pretty good for a superhero movie.

Rating: 8/10
Bonsus: 1)Excellent sound effect 2)Excellent ending 3)Nice fight between 4 superheroes in action
Book Title:Alchemy Of Finance
Author(s): George Soros and Paul A. Volcker
Opinion: Wow, it is all about Soros' opinion written in diary style supported with graphs. To read this book, you need some considerable amount of economics knowledge especially Macroeconomics part. He talked a lot about money market and government spending. How they gotta simulate the currency market aka Forex.
I wish that he should have written more about his adventure where he crash British's Currency and how he play his part towards Asian Financial Crisis 1997.
Ratng:7/10
Bonuses:1)quite insightful to know about his opinion 2)he give you bigger picture about money lending by banks
